Pan-roasted Quail
Bacon-wrapped quail, stuffed with dried tomatoes.
These tiny birds make an elegant, yet easy dinner. Depending on the size of the quail, calculate 1 to 2 birds per serving. Since quails are small and don't have much meat, encourage your guests to chew the meat off the bones rather than trying to cut it off with a knife and fork.
Ingredients
Before you start
Keep the serving dishes in the oven at the lowest setting so they are warm when you serve.
Method
- Stuff the cavity of each quail with the following ingredients: one dried tomato, a half of a garlic clove, one basil leave, and one pinch of salt. Wrap one strip of bacon around the breast, then secure the strip to the quail with a toothpick.
- Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the quails and sauté until they become golden-coloured, 12-15 min, with frequent turning to brown each side.
- Pour in the wine, while scraping the bottom of the pan to detach any browned bits. Add the broth and bay leaf. Cover partially and simmer about 1 h, turning the quails from time to time. You may need to add a little water during cooking to avoid drying and burning the quails.
- Remove the cover and continue to cook a few minutes, if necessary, to evaporate the liquid and caramelise the juices.
- Remove the toothpicks and bay leaf, then serve on the warmed dishes.
